Backend Software Engineer

Wix’s Backend Engineering group, where engineers own the architecture of our backend microservices. We set the tone and standard of our developer culture, fusing together facets of engineering, product management, DevOps, analytics, and technical management. We’re also mentors, helping less-experienced engineers improve and hone their skills so that they are eventually capable of influencing others.

Our development culture is transparent, highly technical, and agile. Because we ship often, we’ve adopted continuous delivery and test-driven development (TDD). Our primary languages are Scala and JavaScript, but we expect our engineers to know popular paradigms that come from other languages as well. We develop and maintain highly scalable systems that support Wix’s 200+ million users—and the people who visit their websites.

We strive to hire engineers who are independent, innovative, bold, and own systems throughout their lifecycle.

We are looking for senior level professionals.

A Backend Engineer who has extensive experience with server-side technologies (Java, Scala, Node.js, or other). You’re also experienced in software design, coding, and delivery to production, and you have knowledge of web development.

Great if you have:

• Experience with Agile development, continuous integration, continuous deployment, and coding for automated testing.
• First-hand experience in Test Driven Development.
• Experience in development and maintenance of RESTful APIs. 
• Interest in the life of local development communities.

Bonus points if you:

• Understand and write multi-threaded code, specifically a web server's request lifecycle.
• Have practiced TDD.
• Have an understanding of reactive patterns and toolkits.
• Have contributed to open-source software.
• Have spoken in developer meetups, conferences or have a blog about software engineering.
• Have an excellent understanding of database systems, relational and otherwise, including sharding for big data applications.
• Are able to conduct performance analysis for a system and find its bottlenecks.
• Have been a “go-to” person in your previous teams/organizations.
